Report template icons
Icons are used to represent report template types. You can quickly determine if a report will be produced as a dashboard, table, pie chart, donut chart, line chart or bar chart by the icons and roll-over help. These icons may display stamps to convey additional information. For example, shortcuts can be distinguished from the original file by the arrow that appears on the icon. This allows you to quickly scan lists of reports and make business decisions based on visual indicators.
